Acetic Acid → 1-Adamantanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 25 ml of acetic acid were added 10 mmol of adamantane, 0.8 mmol of NHPI and 0.6 mmol of acetylacetonatocobalt(II)Co(AA)2 , and the resultant mixture was stirred in an oxygen atmosphere at a temperature of 75° C. for 3 hours. The products in the reaction mixture were analyzed by gas chromatography, and, as a result, adamantane was converted into 1-adamantanol (yield: 48%) and 1,3-adamantanediol(yield: 13%) with the adamantane conversion of 65%.
